A South East Asian country India is the second-most populous and the seventh-largest country by geographical area in the world with over 1.25 billion people. India owns the pride to be the most populous democracy in the world. In 2018, GDP in India was at around 2.69 trillion US dollars.

India Overview

Being a net exporter of Food, India has experienced more than double the life expectancy, quadrupled literacy rates, with sufficient improvements in health conditions, and emergence in the middle class. Potentially a world-class market, India is now recognized as the home of multinational companies and a trade market.

The second face of the picture is quite depressing. Despite such effective and lucrative demographics, India has been fighting against a number of major challenges since its independence. Being a second populous country in the world, it is not so easy to do the governance and administration. Still, the political situations are satisfactory, but the corruption, poverty, health, education, unemployment, environment, religious extremism, and water crisis are threats to its economy and worldwide recognition.
